Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .

1956 Dispatcher Newspaper Ad’s
There were 2 versions of this advertisement that were fairly common, The Hard Top and Soft Top (Convertible Top), there will be more on the Tops at the end of this post.
There were 4 top options available, I guess 5 if you count No Top for the “Basic”
Here is an article from 10-9-1956, I clipped out of FL…
Dave had posted a really cool summary page here….
But I will summarize them here as well from the additional ad I have referenced.
No Top, looks to have a single seat and open passenger side and rear cargo area.
This is the actual DJ sent over by Dave that looks really correct for a Full Top version.
This has side doors and rear access, also has side windows. The only thing different is the physical shape of the rear window in the Sales Brochures it shows the rear window more rectangle, and this has a more trapezoid look to it and matches the design of the side doors and probably provides better viewing out the back.
Here is a clipping of a DJ-3A Half Top
This ad refers to this as a “Soft Top” the Sales Brochures list it as the “Convertible Top”, Has the same description in the article clipped above for the function of the Convertible Top.
| 1956 Jeep Willys DJ3A $4,500 Union Grove, WI |
| Dave sent over this great DJ he found on FB and of course had a ton of background on the rig. Always appreciate his content he shares with us! Thanks. |
| Dave’s Comments |
| This has an original DJ-3A top! Wow! That is a minor miracle. In 17 years of doing ewillys only one other time did I find a DJ-3A convertible top included for sale. If it were near me, I would buy it just for that top (for my convertible). |
| The seats look original. The shifter looks repaired. The 0-8 King Seeley speedometer looks original. It has the proper dry-gauze air cleaner. Other parts look in good shape. The body has been patched/repaired in places. |

1956 DJ3A $5000 Canton, CT
I asked if this could be cross posted on eWillys and William said yes, so here is a 1956 DJ3A, owned for 40+ years, lots of other details are available on this one.
If interested it’s also cross posted on OWF.
You can email: wrplourd at gmail.com
Information from seller:
1956 DJ3A I have owned for 40+ years. Early on when i was in my early 20’s, it was my daily driver, but for most of that time it has sat in a barn in Maine.
In 2017 I brought it home to Connecticut with the intentions of “restoring” it to a weekend driver. While some work was done, more needs to be done and sadly I have lost the desire to continue the job. I’m looking for someone to pick up where I left off!
If interested, please reach out and I’ll fill you in with all the details, plenty more photos too.
Thanks everyone!
